Reckon that's the sort o lineup we should be looking at next year would be great if mcinnes kicked on or a fringe hooker signed as I dislike Luke for 80 as it lessens his dynamism IMO

 

* on the wing will be Reece Robinson I reckon.

 

Reckon he's not much better than Merritt Goodwin reddy to warm until we have a rookie push them out like Johnston has tbh Robinson is only going to decline from here

 

He's not a winger.

Shit under the high ball.
Absolutely goes missing when you need ah metres from your own end. Always waits until 4th tackle for a dummy half scoot.
Makes errors under pressure.

 

Watching Norths v Canberra.

Merritt playing five-eighth and in the space of two minutes he dummies and got absolutely smashed by Lagi Setu and coughed the ball up then next set hospital pass to the fullback saw him sat on his ass by Setu and another dropped ball.

Back to the wing Nathan.

 

I haven't seen much of Ahearn this year but I never really rated him that highly.

He played half a season in the halves in qcup and wasn't great from all reports. But since coming back to NSW he's been really good at fullback apparently.

He's ok, he's just that bit short of having the potential to be elite. He reads the game really well, which is a big bonus. His ball playing is good for a fullback but he's not any combination of quick, strong or agile enough to make it as a fullback. I thought he may have a future at centre, but I think I'm a bit out of touch with reality on that front, no one puts ball players at centre anymore.

 

Apparently Rapana was absolutely killing it in qcup so they gave him a taste of first grade as a direct replacement for Robinson (backup winger/fullback) which I think is an ok move.

 

Some brilliant refereeing in this game.

 

Yeah. Reminds me a bit of Quinlan really. Looks ok, was a good junior, but probably won't be a first grader.
